Night in Lauries - I really enjoyed it..

The launch night featured the new Scottish writer, Billy Letford, (see him perform here at the CCA at the Discombobulate event.) Billy has performed at Connex, was recently on the Radio cafe and is a writer in our future reading, for sure. He is direct, political and poignant .
Singer-songwriter, Eddie Beggan (formerly of the Gems) did some music from his solo stuff. He has a voice you can't forget. Listen to Path. Here it is.
John Watson from Amnesty in Edinburgh gave us a short intro to the aims of Amnesty and concentrated our focus to 4 particular case studies of political prisoners of conscience. Let's sign up - get them out, it was indeed a 'Release' night.
We did the new songs and then well, had a bit of a wild set just for fun.
Thanks to everyone who came along, thanks for buyin the CDs. - Hope you are enjoying the rock blasts and the tender For you.
Still trying to get the films sorted out but hopefully they'll be up soon.
